HKU or HKUST

@Hassan96‌ I heard they only give out like 7-10 offers for Actuarial Science (international students). It’s extremely competitive

@uniboundjamy‌ wow congrats! I havent heard from HKU… I applied around the same time you did. What major are you applying for?

Thanks! I’m applying for engineering. What about you?

@uniboundjamy Econ&Fin. I’m really feeling pessimistic right now (HKU is my first choice) but I already got HKUST so I guess it’s good enough
:slight_smile:

@uniboundjamy‌ Hi, when do rolling admissions go on till? I applied in November as well, and haven’t heard anything yet. Also, did you get any scholarships?

@victoriamanda‌ congrats on your offer from HKUST! It’s an equally good place and has it’s pros and cons but hey,it’s an amazing place to be. I know i won’t be worried about any other place if I got an offer from either HKU or HKUST.
@tejan15‌ I think they keep on sending out offers till May end, I’m not so sure though…

is there any way that I may get my decision before May???

I applied December 15th…

@uniboundjamy !!! omg please help me. I am from Canada and applied around December 15th main round and still haven’t heard back. I tried calling them and I don’t know how I can talk to the admissions counselor since the automatic voice woman just guides through the whole thing it’s REALLY ANNOYING. okay this School is my first choice and I never got invited for interview but I am willing to do it… what should I do… :’(

i need to decide soon since all my other schools need my answer before May 1st… this is really irritating.

@mh0330‌ Maybe you can send an e-mail to HKU admission. They actually reply quite quickly.

Hi. I also applied to HKU and HKUST. My 1st choice is science, 2nd choice is Bio-medical, and 3rd choice is Eng in science for HKU. Moreover, I chose science for 1st choice and Eng for 2nd choice for HKUST. I just want to know the average accepted score of SAT1,2, GPA, and AP to get into these majors.

Hi
I have got offers from both HKUST and HKU for computer science . - conditional offers as well as from Umass , Minnesota and Stony Brook . Have to confirm HKU immediately . Please advise which is the best for me

I’d go with hkust. But then again, that’s just my opinion based on rankings and employer reputation. Go where you think you would like.

@indochin may i ask ur stats?

SAT 2060 , IB predicted score 39 , decent EC s , Indian studying at Shanghai

No idea when the results will come out …
Anybody ?

@IllusionandDream‌ hi thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

Just received my offer for business management today. Anyone else got it?

Hey guys, I have a pretty tough decision to make so if anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it.
I have gotten a conditional offer from both HKU and HKUST for the BSc program in biological sciences and also Ive gotten admission into the best institute for research in India ( IISc ). Which one do you think would be a better option for me? ( I’ve gotten a scholarship to study at IISc but no scholarship to study at either place in Hong Kong).
My plan is to do further postgraduate studies in US, and I’ve heard that IISc has a better recognition in that matter than HKUST or HKU.
